Re: Lifetime Membership discussion
 

A NEW membership is $45 and renewals are $35 I believe - Should there be a reinstatement fee for a lapse of several years of "no participation". I'd think it maybe deserves a conversation. Could or should such a fee be waived "for circumstances"? Might deserve a conversation also!

Dyno, are you an accountant by chance? :)

Re: Lifetime Membership discussion
 

Lots of interesting points of views. I think there should be a LM available to those who really want to commit and simplify there life without having to renew every year. I think there should be a 20 yr dedication exemption of dues for those whom have posted over 1,000 times and maintained a 20 membership seniority. I think maybe a two tier ZR-1/zr1 forum might be a viable option if you want the forum to grow. you log in and select which of the two you want to go into, C4 or C6. The C6 Zr1 is the new benchmark of performance and the flagship car currently thrusting the ZR1 moniker worldwide.

It is certainly keeping the Zr1 brand up there in quality and performance. We must not forget, these are cars worth over 100k that require owners that can pay for them. It would increase membership as a whole and also attract current zr1 owners who want a place to talk and share information. It just depends how big you want the forum to get. As it currently is, there probably wont be much growth since the cars are not increasing in volume and more and more go by the wayside..(accidents etc..). We can keep it only LT5 and let it roll on like it is for a very few selected owners of the c4 lt5.

It just depends on how big do we want this club to be?? I can see the good points and the bad by including the c6 zr1 into the forum.

It has been done before, and they are gone.

Re: Lifetime Membership discussion
 

and there's a reason for that.

Re: Lifetime Membership discussion
 

Everybody has a reason for everything, I have a lifetime charter membership paid in full that is worth about what the paper this statement is printed on.... oh that right there is no paper here...so NOTHING...

Re: Lifetime Membership discussion
 

I would do LM just because it is easier. I actively am on the site but have not been a paid member for 2 years for no other reason than I just forget to re-up. I know I need to do it, but I guess it's so far down on list of things to do that it gets put off. Just my thoughts. Maybe a 3 or 5 year membership?

Re: Lifetime Membership discussion
 

The reason I am voting no is that I feel the club needs the yearly renewal to keep the club in a positive financial income . Each season will bring new members and some will opt out at some time or another and being a yearly member will help the opt out individual to do so easily . I will probably be a member till my end but having the option to stop being a member at some point just seems easier .

Re: Lifetime Membership discussion
 

So maybe instead of Lifetime you offer a special price/deal for 5 year renewal..

Re: Lifetime Membership discussion
 

So, let's see if I understand this.
I am older.
You are younger.
Either you are paying less because my "lifetime" buys less time.
or
I am paying more for my shorter "lifetime" to cover your longer time.

This sounds a lot like some healthcare plan that I keep hearing about.

Why not a medicare type option( although I am not there yet) where you younger fellas respectfully pay my share, because, .... uhh becuase.....
Well I don't know, the government does it so it must be right, right?

;)

FREE MEMBERSHIP FOR OLD GUYS FOR LIFE!!!!!!

Boy, you young guys would really be screwed!

I plan to live to 90+, and drive too! (watch out)

Hey, but in a few years I can whine about "being on a fixed income"

Thanks for playing along!
